Christmas lights in St. Joseph

Professional Christmas light installers in St. Joseph

St. Joseph is a tight-knit town where people drive the neighborhoods in December to see the lights, and the homes on the north side subdivisions have become a destination. A warm white roofline, lit shrubs and a wrapped tree on one of those two-stories gets noticed by the whole village.

We're eighteen minutes from St. Joseph by way of Route 150 or I-74, close enough that installs and maintenance fit easily into our Champaign County routes. Every install includes design, commercial-grade lights, free maintenance, January takedown and storage.

Whether you're looking for a Christmas light company, a Christmas light hanging service or full holiday light installation, every St. Joseph install follows our five-step full-service process: we design the layout for your home, install commercial-grade LED C9 lights on custom-cut lines with roof-safe clips, maintain the display at no charge all season, take it down in January, and store it until next year.

Local knowledge

We know St. Joseph's homes

The newer subdivisions on the north side of St. Joseph are where most of our work is, with two-stories and larger ranches on good-sized lots that show a full roofline outline well. Closer to Main Street and the school, the brick ranches and split-levels of the 1970s and 80s look best with a single clean roofline and lit landscape beds. Older homes near downtown with deep front porches get porch-rail garland and a wreath to go with the roofline. Acreage homes along the Salt Fork often add lit fence lines and outbuilding rooflines.

Weather note for St. Joseph: St. Joseph sits on flat, open ground with long sightlines to the east and west, which means steady winter wind across its subdivisions. We clip lines tightly and anchor every corner.

How it works

How Christmas light installation works in St. Joseph

One call does it all. Here's what happens after you request a quote for your St. Joseph home.

  1. Design

    We visit your home, measure every roofline and tree, and design a layout that fits its architecture. You approve the look before anything goes up.

  2. Install

    Our insured crew installs commercial-grade LED lights with custom-cut lines and clips made for your roof. No staples, no damage, no ladders for you.

  3. Maintain

    A bulb goes out or a storm knocks a line loose? We come fix it, free, all season long. Your display looks perfect every night.

  4. Takedown

    In January we remove everything carefully, inspect each strand, and leave your home exactly as we found it.

  5. Store

    We label and store your lights in our climate-controlled facility until next season. Nothing in your garage or attic.

What homeowners near St. Joseph say

4.9 stars on Google

  • Our lights were amazing. Lights were done quickly and efficiently. When the season was over he was back to take them down just when he said he would. We have had him put our lights up for several years and will continue to! Highly recommended.

  • We just had our lights installed by Midwest Holiday Lighting on Thanksgiving day. We just called them and let them know we would like them to do our light install and they worked us in quickly. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. We love the holiday lighting they installed on our house and will use them for years to come. They provided all the materials, completed the install quickly, and will store the lights for us during the off season. I added the wreath last minute and they had all the supplies to install it. We could not be happier with Tom and his crew and the job they did installing our lights. Thank You Midwest Holiday Lighting for making our holidays feel more merry and our home look brighter! Enjoy!
